Things I've seen

You won't believe the things I've seen
Far beyond your wildest dreams

I've seen chaos and order reign supreme
I've seen the beauty of the universe
so peaceful and serene
in seconds turn to violence and screams

I've seen true genius, too often to lose the meaningless
appreciation of this mediocre nation
I've heard the mind is repetition,
of empty words without tradition
Turned original verbs into submission
I smelled this malignerance addiction,
but I guess I wouldn't be right
if I said the blunt was like a baby pipe
There ain't gon' be no revolution tonight
And I've tasted, the bitter tragedy of lives wasted
And men who glimpsed the darkness inside, but never faced it
And it's a shame that most of y'all are followin sheep
Wallowin deeper than the darkness, you're fallin asleep

I've seen and experienced things
that'll push the average to the edge and swan dive to death
I'm two guys, multiplied by ninety-three guys
Evenly balanced seein evil equally in each eye now
Maybe I'm the most thorough worker on the job to you
or maybe I'm the one, who was plottin to rob you

Once in a lifetime is rough
Twice in a lifetime you combat the ghost of mistrust

World Of Warcraft under Linux / Wine | Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006

World Of Warcraft under Linux / Wine

I'm probably the only person who finds this 'so much teh awesome', but here is the windows version of World Of Warcraft, running inside a window, inside WINE, inside AIGLX / Beryl, inside Ubuntu Linux.

As you can see, OpenGL windows - including WINE "compatabilitied" ones - support the full range of Beryl / Compiz desktop effects, such as wobbly windows and transparency.

Also, the WoW config file is called "config.wtf"... brilliant.

Now... time to uninstall before I get addicted.

I've made some long-overdue changes to my living space; this is my new bedroom. Earth tones, my own art, and nothing I don't need.

Second Life for all the family! | Saturday, November 18th, 2006

Second Life for all the family!

So I load up the Linux client for SL, and it starts me where my character had last logged off - I hadn't been here in over a year.

I walk a few minutes, and pass a crackhouse, a gun shop, and end up in a whorehouse.
